Thanks everyone for your advice.
The treatments I have been using lately are Tar pomade, Liquid parafin 50:50, Dovebet and dovonex. I was on oral steriods last year but they never helped me. The methotrexate made my lymph nodes swell in my neck and back of my head. These lumps are still there and I am getting quite worried about them now. I have also tried diprosalic, exorex as well as ultraviolet light treatments etc but the flare up always come back. The psoriasis is now on my face and Aveno makes it very raw when I use it. I also use the usual Polytar and T-Gel for my hair.
I hate, hate, hate my skin. I cant wear short sleeves,nice skirts or dresses. I avoid social occassions at all costs and I have found myself distancing myself from my friends etc as I cant even face going out for nights out. Everyday I face a battle with what I am going to wear and how I can hide my skin. I don't even like my own family seeing my skin. My husband tries to reassure me but no-one can fully understand how we psoriasis suffers feel inside. I was bullied throughout school for it and this has stuck with me. I would love to tell those bullies how messed up they made me feel. I feel people look at my skin like I am unsanitary because it looks so dirty and flakey. People's ignorance can make me feel very depressed. This year in particular my skin has really irritated me. I have finally had enough of it. Wish I could have a skin transplant!!!
